During the curricular internship to earn a bachelor's degree in nursing, students are trained in the necessary skills for a successful transition to their professional role. These skills include assuming responsibilities in the clinical context, consolidating acquired competencies, and developing critical thinking skills to effectively solve problems (Pedregosa et al., 2020). The effectiveness of this preparation largely depends on clinical preceptorships, which involve the accompaniment of students by internship preceptors in a clinical setting for a specific duration and with specific objectives (Blevins, 2016; Sanjuán-Quiles & Martínez-Riera, 2018; Ward & McComb, 2017).

A nursing preceptor is a nursing professional who voluntarily takes responsibility for the education of students under their care in a clinical setting. They provide support, education, and guidance to help students transition into practice (Blevins, 2016; Kolomo, Vernon, & Toffoli, 2017; Mikkonen et al., 2020; Pramila-Savukoski et al., 2020; Tuomikoski et al., 2020; Ward & McComb, 2017). The preceptor role goes beyond the mere transmission of knowledge or training in technical skills; preceptors also serve as the primary reference and role models for students, influencing students' performance patterns through their daily actions (Blevins, 2016; Perpiñá-Galvañ et al., 2017).
